    Contaminated Cadbury's chocolate was the most likely cause of a salmonella outbreak, a team of experts has confirmed.

    Up to 37 of the 56 cases reported between March and July are linked to the products.

    It is the first time the Health Protection Agency has officially named Cadbury the likely cause since the confectionery giant recalled a million chocolate bars.

    During an investigation, the HPA discovered that 13 of the people infected in England and Wales had eaten Cadbury's products.

    A 14th person had eaten confectionery of some sort but could not remember which brand.

    In addition, the Welsh authorities reported that a 15th salmonella victim had eaten a Cadbury's product.

    No other food products or brands were found to have been eaten by all the cases investigated.

    The HPA presented its findings to the Salmonella Montevideo Outbreak Control Team (OCT).

    "After carefully considering all the available evidence, the OCT concluded that consumption of products made by Cadbury Schweppes was the most credible explanation for the outbreak of S. Montevideo," the HPA said in a statement.

    :eek: :( "I do love cadbury, hope those contaminated chocolates don't reach our country" :D

    I eat Cadburys chocolate all the time. This scare hasn't put me off, and I'm fine.
